Hello :)
I just wanted to ask a question around some symptoms that I am feeling currently and if anyone had any advice or if they have had similar issues.
I had white bits on my tonsils for the last 3 weeks, and literally the night before this occurred the glands around my groin/neck/armpit was going a little haywire. Aching but they aren't painful or visibly large.
I went to the doctors after a week and they said I had tonsillitis and was given a 10 day course of antibiotics. After the course, they were still white and my glands were still aching on and off. I'm awaiting test results for glandular fever.
The doctor has also mentioned because this looks more to be a viral infection with the tonsillitis the antibiotics won't help and my glands can be effected all over my body and I just have to ride it out.
I just wanted to ask if:
1) It's possible for all of your glands to be affected when it comes to a viral infection (tonsillitis)
2) How long can it take to clear up? Not just the glands aching, but sore throat, general unwell feeling. Because it's been over 3 weeks pretty much.
I'm trying to hold off from looking online because I know that pretty much is opening me up to seeing all the worst illnesses out there.
Does anyone have any advice, because it's just starting to mentally get me down in regards to how long it's been.
Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks,
D
